Episode 99: Summer BBQ

Halfway through July, we are just about in the middle of summer. So we thought it would be appropriate to talk about meat and barbecuing in this week’s episode of Distillations. First, our own James Voelkel tells us about papaya and pineapple as natural meat tenderizers. Then we welcome historian Roger Horowitz back to our show, this time to talk about the history of steak. Finally, learn how to safely grill meat—without adding carcinogens to it. Chemical Agent: Papain.
